Beware the Appearing Cute Wife!-Chapter 998 - 1109: Liqueur Chocolate

The night was gentle, and the cozy and warm room was filled with deep love and burning passion.

Right now, she was so shy that she didn’t even know what to say to him.

But Yunqing’s arm was tightly around her, a devilish smile playing at the corner of his lips.

"Hmm, shy? Not willing to speak now?"

Tong Xi stayed silent, and Yunqing laughed and said, "Hmm, liquor-filled chocolates! Indeed, a unique flavor, leaving people with endless aftertaste!"

In an instant, Tong Xi felt her heartbeat skip a beat.

This bad guy, what is he talking about!

Liquor-filled chocolates...

Tong Xi didn’t pick up on his words, she just reached out and pinched his waist.

Yunqing exclaimed exaggeratedly:

"Ah, my dear wife, are you trying to murder your husband?"

"Get out!" Tong Xi blushed even more, "Who wants to murder you!"

Yunqing chuckled and held her hand.

"My dear wife, don’t you know, a man’s waist is precious! Your future happiness relies on it!"

Tong Xi: "..." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Alright, she was convinced, this guy Yunqing.

Really left her speechless.

Finally, she sighed and said, "Hmph, only your waist is precious!"

Yunqing laughed, hugged her, and pulled her closer into his arms.

"Yours is precious too!"

After saying this, Yunqing added, "Actually, the importance of the waist has been praised since ancient times. Isn’t there a line in the ’Poetic Classic’— ’Fair lady, a gentleman’s good match.’ The term ’fair’ refers to a slender and graceful figure, which means her waist must be very slim. For beauties like Daji and Bao Si, we have no way of knowing exactly how captivating their looks were, but they surely had alluring figures.

Also, there’s a poem that says, ’The King of Chu liked slender waists, many starved in the palace.’ King Ling of Chu liked beauties with slender waists, and palace maids would diet to gain favor, and many starved to death. This story left a glorious page in China’s aesthetic history. So, a woman’s waist was also known as the ’Chu waist,’ and the great poet Du Mu left the lines, ’A Chu waist so slender, light in the palm,’ passed down through the ages.

In fact, at that time in the Chu State, not only were women trying hard to lose weight, but the men were also desperately tightening their waists and dieting, just like the later foot-binding among women. Officials ate only one meal a day, and various weight loss methods emerged. Every day before court, they would straighten up, tighten their waists, and then fasten their belts. They were so weak from dieting they could only stand by holding onto the wall. By the second year, the faces of civil and military officials all turned sallow yellow."

Hearing this from Yunqing, Tong Xi suddenly laughed.

"Are there similar stories abroad?"

Yunqing laughed, "Of course, there are such stories! It’s said that during the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, everything was ready, but her waist let her down. Why? You see, by then she had given birth to two children and didn’t control her diet, so the ceremonial robe that had been passed down for the coronation couldn’t fit. Elizabeth II had no choice but to diet, for nearly three months, she only drank boiled water, a little orange juice, and a bit of bread. She almost missed the throne because of her waist! So, you see, the waist is important!"

After saying this, Yunqing’s hand wrapped around Tong Xi’s waist, and he laughed while saying, "But my wife, well, just perfect!"
